Win64/Egguard.M Trojan

Recommended Posts

So I acquired this trojan about a month ago maybe more while trying to install a program. I'm not sure what I should do about it or how to remove it. I have tried multiple antivirus software to remove the virus but none have detected it, ESET can only detect it when it tries to send a signal to some bogus website containing private information it has collected from my computer. I need help please not sure what to do at this point. ESET doesn't actually remove the virus when it detects it, only blocks it from doing anything when it tries to, the virus has embedded itself in my audio manager.

Thank you, itman. Your reply helped me successfully remove the virus, I think. But, for safe keeping I went into my host file and block the websites it was trying to access. I also got Malwarebytes anti-exploit premium.
